Young Voice takes the reader back more than
twenty five years, to a time when the activities of the
far right political parties were active in the
Bethnal Green area of London.

It looks at the challenges which faced the young Bangladeshi
living in the area at that time and how they coped with
the intimidation and outright racism which manifested
itself on the very streets where they lived.

From the late 70s, all through the 90s and to the present
day, Young Voice is a record of young peopleÕs involvement
in the demonstrations which defined the time and
contributed to the defeat of hatred and the lack of inclusion
and acceptance that was prevalent.

Told in stories of the times and from the photographs taken
by the author, Young Voice is a moving account of how
the youth challenged the status quo of its own community
and took the fight to the haters and ultimately
removed them from the streets.
